Non - factorizable photonic corrections to e + e − → WW → 4 fermions

چکیده
Abstract: We study the non-factorizable corrections to W-pair-mediated four-fermion production in e+e− annihilation in double-pole approximation. We show how these corrections can be combined with the known corrections to the production and the decay of on-shell W-boson pairs, and how the full off-shell Coulomb singularity is included. Moreover, we find that the actual form of the real non-factorizable corrections depends on the parametrization of phase space, more precisely, on the definition of the invariant masses of the resonant W bosons. For the usual parametrization the full analytical results for the non-factorizable corrections are presented. Our analytical and numerical results for the non-factorizable corrections agree with a recent calculation, which was found to differ from a previous one. The detailed numerical discussion covers the invariant-mass distribution, various angular distributions, and the lepton-energy distribution for leptonic final states.

Further numerical results on non-factorizable corrections to e + e − → 4 fermions
Numerical results on non-factorizable corrections to ee → WW → 4 fermions with semi-leptonic and hadronic final states, as well as to ee → ZZ → 4 fermions, are presented. The corrections turn out to be small in comparison to the experimental uncertainty of LEP2, but they might compete with the expected accuracy at future ee-colliders.

We present the Monte Carlo generator RacoonWW that computes cross sections to all processes e+e− → 4f and e+e− → 4fγ and calculates the complete O(α) electroweak radiative corrections to e+e− → WW → 4f in the electroweak Standard Model in double-pole approximation. The calculation of the tree-level processes e+e− → 4f and e+e− → 4fγ is based on the full matrix elements for massless (polarized) ...
